The difference that helps Barcelona transform under Hansi Flick

|

Fitness and fitness experts have contributed greatly to Barcelona's successful season under Hansi Flick.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta was very angry as he felt the team had been exhausted at the end of the game in recent seasons. Blaugrana have lost both El Clasicos last season with goals conceded in extra time. In the Champions League, they were also eliminated in the quarter-finals by Paris St Germain.

"The team is always in decline in terms of physical strength after the 60th minute. We didn't finish the games as we wanted," Laporta said late last season.

The poor results, along with other reasons, caused coach Xavi Hernandez to lose his job and Hansi Flick to replace him. In addition, Laporta also strongly reformed the physical parts of the first team.

Barca has recruited leading Spanish fitness experts.

fitness having worked with Antonio Conte at Juventus, Chelsea and the Italian national team. He also worked briefly at Barcelona in 2004 during Laporta's first term as President.

Rafa Maldonado, Pepe Conde and German Fernandez continued to support Tous, joining Real Sociedad, Sevilla and Udinese respectively. Maldonado and Conde focus on physical training on the pitch, while Fernandez focuses on strength and muscle training.

The results came immediately. The Catalan team started the campaign with 7 consecutive wins in La Liga after going through a challenging period before the season.

"We work much harder than before. The new fitness coaches coming are really good for us. You see that in games. The team doesn't drop after the 70th or 80th minute and still maintains that fitness level," Pedri said last September.

After a difficult time before Christmas, Barcelona regained their form in early 2025. They are unbeaten in 17 matches and lead La Liga. The 3-1 win over Benfica also helped them reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the second consecutive time. Flick's side are also just one match away from the Copa del Rey final against Atletico Madrid. They have previously beaten Real Madrid to win the Spanish Super Cup.

With a series of titles within reach, a story is being built about a team that can run more than most other teams and fight until the last minute. This is an important aspect of Flick's playing style.

A physical foundation has laid the foundation for Flick's playing style. His team is still fighting on all three fronts as April gradually approaches. However, the difficult work has just begun. More tournaments mean more games and Tous, like Flick, will be judged to be tough compared to the start of the season.

The match against Atletico Madrid in La Liga, one of the few teams they have not been able to beat this season, will be the next opportunity for Barca to prove to Laporta that they will not be weak this year.
